In this DROPS video we show how we decrease 2 stitches towards left, 2 stitches towards right and how do decrease 4 stitches together. These techniques are used in the Lacey Laurel shawl in DROPS 203-14. We have already worked 30 rows of a charts with 2 stitches in garter st in each side and show on the 1st row in this video how we decrease 2 stitches towards the left as follows: Slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit the next 2 stitches together and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted together stitches (= 2 stitches decreased). Then knit 1, knit 1 in stitch under the next stitch. 1 knit. Then we show how to decrease 2 stitches towards the right as follows: Knit 3 stitches together (= 2 stitches decreased). On row 35 we decrease 4 stitches as follows: Slip 3 stitches as if to knit them together, knit the next 2 stitches together and pass the 3 slipped stitches over the knitted together stitches (= 4 stitches decreased).
